FROM THE DIRECTOR

We’re heading into the final months of the DAI’s centennial celebration and it’s been such a fantastic year!

pours for new stairs began this fall, and we hope to be able to reopen the staircase in the spring of 2020.

Our second centennial open house event, Arts, Beats and Eats, took place on October 6, with more than 1,500 people attending. If you didn’t see the amazing Lego mosaic of the DAI created by Brixilated during Arts, Beats and Eats, you can see it at the Dayton Metro Library’s main branch in downtown Dayton through the end of the year. Click the video block on this page to check out a time-lapse video of it being assembled.

As the holidays approach, consider giving the gift of membership to the DAI this year. It is the holiday gift that continues to give throughout the year! We are also offering a special membership sale during the holidays–25% off if you purchase a new or gift membership at our Guest Services Desk on a Saturday, from now through December 28.

Oktoberfest saw record attendance numbers on Friday and Saturday, and this important fundraiser produced record net revenue to support museum operations. In addition, thousands have visited our centennial Special Exhibitions and Focus Exhibitions.

Thank you to everyone who has helped us celebrate!

The celebration is far from over―our final centennial Special Exhibition of the year, Maker & Muse: Women and Early 20th-Century Art Jewelry, is on view through January 19, 2020. The holidays will truly sparkle and shine in the Gem City with this amazing collection, featuring nearly 250 pieces of exquisite jewelry. Our current centennial Focus Exhibitions include Mona Lisa Today, William Preston Mayfield Photographs and Art of Ernest Blumenschein. See the features in this issue for more information, and be sure to make plans to visit during the holiday season.

I’d like to personally wish every one of you the happiest of holiday seasons. Thank you again for your support in 2019, and I look forward to seeing all of you at the museum throughout 2020.

October 26, 2019–Janua

Join us this fall for Maker & Muse: Women and Early 20th-Century Art Jewelry, a stunning exhibition of more than 200 unique pieces of handcrafted art jewelry.

The exhibition celebrates the role of women in jewelry-production, both as inspiration and as designers/makers.

Demonstrating the impact of women on art jewelry, the exhibition highlights five regions: Great Britain, France, AustroGermany, New York, and Chicago. These regions saw the emergence of bold, experimental artists who pushed the boundaries of traditional jewelry design.

The exhibition features exquisite works by renowned artists such as Louis Comfort

4

Tiffany, Charlotte Newman, and RenĂŠ Lalique.

Art jewelry developed as a reaction to the conformity of mass-produced goods throughout the Industrial Revolution.

Each of the designers represented in Maker & Muse, though inspired by their own individual cultures and surroundings, shared similar aesthetic ideals: they all sought to produce innovative jewelry with semiprecious stones, enamelwork, and dramatic forms. The works in this exhibition offer a mesmerizing glimpse into the social, political, and economic realms in which they were created.

Drawn from the Collection of Richard H. Driehaus, as well as from other prominent collections, Maker & Muse explores the fascinating symbiosis between art jewelry, design, and women in the early 20th century.

For more about the exhibition, go to daytonartinstitute.org/jewelry, and join the conversation on social media with the hashtag #JewelryDAI. Maker & Muse: Women and Early 20thCentury Art Jewelry was organized by The Richard H. Driehaus Museum and is toured

CENTENNIAL FOCUS EXHIBITIONS WILLIAM PRESTON MAYFIELD PHOTOGRAPHS SEPTEMBER 21, 2019–JANUARY 5, 2020, GALLERY 118 William Preston Mayfield (1896–1974) was a prominent figure in the history of photography in Dayton. He is among the first to take pictures from an airplane, worked as a photographer for the Dayton Daily News, and later owned his own photography and aerial photography business.

With a career spanning six decades, Mayfield’s photographic subjects document the vibrancy, challenges, and changing landscape of Dayton.

Organized by the DAI and exclusive to our venue, works on view are generously on loan from the collection of Cristina and Ren Egbert.

This Focus Exhibition is presented with generous support from SUPPORTING SPONSORS Miriam Rosenthal Foundation for the Arts, Scenic Solutions and with ADDITIONAL SUPPORT from Requarth, Co. MONA LISA TODAY SEPTEMBER 21, 2019–JANUARY 12, 2020, GALLERY 218 The Mona Lisa is more than 500 years old: ever wonder what it might have looked like when it was still fresh on the easel?

Leonardo da Vinci created his portrait of Lisa Gherardini with her enigmatic smile between 1503 and 1506. Over the centuries, the painting on wood panel has changed as pigments have faded, varnishes have darkened and yellowed, and cracks have developed from fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

Utilizing the exhaustive research done on the painting by the French Center for Museum Research and Restoration in collaboration with the Louvre, artist Jenness Cortez created a version of this famous painting as she believes it appeared in the 16th century.

To complement this contemporary version of the Mona Lisa, works from the DAI’s collection examine Leonardo’s influence and the importance copies have played in

the development of art.

2019 marks 500 years since the death of Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) and this Centennial Focus Exhibition joins in the worldwide celebration honoring this accomplished artist and innovator. This Focus Exhibition is presented with generous support from SUPPORTING SPONSORS the Berry Family Foundation, Jerry and Patty Tatar, Keys-Ads, Inc. and with ADDITIONAL SUPPORT from the DP&L Foundation, Taft/ and Winsupply, Inc. RELATED PROGRAM: Curatorial Conversations Thursday, December 5, 6–7 p.m.

Mimi and Stuart Rose Auditorium Free to members; included in museum general admission for non-members Join Chief Curator, Dr. Jerry N. Smith, as he discusses the fascinating story about the history of Leonardo’s Mona Lisa and the recent reproduction by Jenness Cortez.

Ernest Blumenschein (1874–1960), who grew up in Dayton, was one of the most successful American artists of the first half of the 20th century. He was a co-founder of the artists’ colony in Taos, New Mexico, the Taos Society of Artist (1915–1927), and an awardwinning member of the National Academy of Design.

His art blended traditional means of expression with modern ideas. This focus exhibition features examples of his early illustrations, sketches, and paintings of the Southwest, for which he is best remembered today.

This exclusive showing of The Art of Ernest Blumenschein is organized by the DAI. This Focus Exhibition is presented with generous support from SUPPORTING SPONSORS Miriam Rosenthal Foundation for the Arts, Bill and Wanda Lukens and with ADDITIONAL SUPPORT from FEG Investment Advisors.

IN THE COMPANY OF FRIENDS: THE KETTERING AND PATTERSON LEGACY, THROUGH MAY 17, 2020, GALLERY 117 Why do we collect things? What do these things say about us? In China, there was a long tradition of collectors known as scholar-officials.

The arts played a central role in the life of scholars as ways to cultivate one's self, but they also created communities of like-minded friends. As social leaders, they set examples of what others could aspire to: living a life of thoughtful understanding, beauty, and friendship.

IMPRESSIVE: 100 YEARS OF JAPANESE PRINTS AT THE DAI, THROUGH JANUARY 5, 2020, GALLERY 105 Celebrating the museum’s collection of Japanese woodblock prints, the exhibition selects highlights and rotates every three months—make sure to visit this gallery and see the final installation!

In a similar way, Virginia W. Kettering and Jefferson Patterson were leaders of the Dayton community who were also collectors of Asian art, and through their generosity these collections formed the basis of the DAI’s extensive collection. As part of the DAI’s 2019 Centennial, this Focus Exhibition explores the contributions of Kettering and Patterson through the lens of the Chinese scholar collector, presenting a variety of artworks that may have been part of a scholar’s life, and raising the broader question of just what it means to collect.

MAX MAY MEMORIAL HOLOCAUST ART EXHIBITION

This annual exhibition of artwork by local students will be on view from August 31 through December 1 in the South Gallery on the museum’s lower level.

Learning from the Holocaust, area educators challenge their 5th–12th grade students to artistically express their hope for a peaceful future free of racism, disrespect, and intolerance.

2019–2020 SCHOOL PROGRAMS

School programs are specifically designed to support 21st-century skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, cultural awareness, creativity and close looking.

Last year, the DAI served more than 7,000 youth, including 2,700 students in PreKindergarten through 12th grade. The DAI provided free studio workshops for 1,000 of those students. Prioritizing access and inclusion, each tour features multiple strategies to engage students of various learning styles, (verbal, visual, kinesthetic, auditory, social, etc.), with the museum’s collection.

Children and educators enjoy some time in the studio following a school tour.

Gallery experiences at Dayton Art Institute offer students interactive opportunities to build meaningful connections with art. All school tours align to state and Common Core standards and make cross-curricular connections in multiple content areas (language arts, mathematics, science and social studies).

Even the architectural splendor of the building itself should be appreciated as you walk, and it is an excellent venue for any type of event. Bottom line, our community is fortunate to have such a diverse collection of art, let’s make sure we support it for years to come. – Cynthia Heck
